James is home from rehab now!   He has come such a long way.  There is still a lot of hard work ahead,  but at least he is home!  Discharge day was November 9th.  He was so excited to be coming home for good.  He kept hugging the nurses and therapists!  There was a welcome home ice cream get together at the church on Saturday and James seemed to enjoy himself.  Our friend Robin made James  a blanket and James insisted that it go on his bed as soon as we got home! 

This week we have reconnected with our family doctor (he said that he would not have recognized him),  had a visit from a Speech thereapist who deals with communication devices and we will meet with James'  occupational therapist later this week.  Physio and Speech therapy will start at the end of the month and then life will get really busy!  We also have an appointment with his new physiatrist (specialty doctor)  in Nanaimo that week too! 

We are waiting to hear about recommendations from the neurologist who saw James in the hospital before he left rehab.  He had some ideas on how to calm the tremor in James right arm. 

It is so good to all be home together again!  Life is still far from normal,  and may never be the same,  but at least we are all under one roof again!   James is a very stubborn fella and who knows how far he will get!
